I went almost the entire first grade answering to "dent de lion", which means dandelion. My teacher was an ancient nun and I was terrified of her and her ruler lol. I finally got the courage to tell her and she was actually very nice about it and apologized. Hehe. If you want to hear a name get mangled, try living in a French-speaking environment when your first name is Danalyn. It just looks wrong and comes out sounding like a chemical to a French speaker. This is also approximately the reception it gets from Spanish speakers in New Mexico. Too many y's.
Actually though, I am willing to bet that everyone here would mispronouce my name if they met me in person. I found this to be true at MAX (with the possible exception of Ben Doom, not sure). And you, Doom, be quiet ;) Dana On 10/22/07, Marlon Moyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Heck for the first week of Kindergarten, I was counted absent.
